The therapist can provide guidance and support to help children with autism navigate social situations and interact appropriately with their peers.

Peer Modelling: Group therapy provides an opportunity for children with autism to observe and imitate their peers. Children with autism often have difficulty with imitation, and peer modelling can be effective way to teach new skills.

Generalization: Group therapy provides opportunities for children with autism to practice their skills in a variety of settings. Skills learned in therapy can be generalized to other settings, such as school or home.

Emotional Regulation: Children with autism may have difficulty regulating their emotions. Group therapy can provide a safe and supportive environment for children to learn and practice emotional regulation skills.
